Answer:

The basic earnings per share for 20*1 = $2.70

Explanation:

Basic Earnings Per Share = Earnings Available to Common Stockholders / No. of Common Stock outstanding

Basic EPS (2001) = Earnings Available to Common Stockholders / No. of Common Stock outstanding = $540,000 / 200,000 = $2.70

Earnings Available to Common Stockholders = Net Income - Dividend to Preferred Stockholders  

= $600,000 - (20,000 x $3) = $600,000 - $60,000 = $540,000

No. of Common Stock outstanding at the end of 2001 = 200,000 Shares

Diluted Earnings Per Share (2001) = Earnings After adjusting Potential Common Shares / No. of Common Stock outstanding including potential convertible common stock  

= $670,000 / 285,000 Shares = $2.35

No. of Common Stock outstanding including potential convertible common stock = Common Stock Outstanding 2001 + 40,000 Shares of Preferred Stock Convertible into common stock + (45 Shares x $1,000,000 / $1,000) = 200,000 + 40,000 + 45,000 = 285,000 Shares

Earnings After adjusting Potential Common Shares = After conversion into Common Stock, company will not be paid Preference Dividend and interest on debentures. These payments will be saved, and it will not be paid by the company, hence earnings will increase by $70,000 Interest of Debentures after giving effect of tax i.e. $1,000,000 x 10% x (1 - 0.30) = $70,000

Earnings After adjusting Potential Common Shares = $600,000 + $70,000 = $670,000
